In the 1890s, Leed's municipal government was vigorously promoting a new civic identity for the city, especially after the town was granted city status in 1893.

I have a blog also obviously and would like to invite you to become my blog friend...?<br /><br />I mostly post about my Southern California experience through my art, and a Latino male perspective. Maybe you can become my pal, and follow, and I can also follow you, if that is okay.
